These are exceptional times and our staff are trying their best in very difficult circumstances. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY UNLESS INVITED. This will help us reduce the infection risk to our practice and help protect other patients and our staff. If you have been invited to the surgery for an appointment please be aware:
The front door is locked - please report to the side window. Once the details of your appointment are confirmed you will be asked to confirm that you have no Coronavirus symptoms and you have not been self isolating due to a household member having symptoms. On entering the building you will be asked to clean your hands with the hand santiser provided and given a face mask to put on. The practice nurse will then take your temperature using a Thermoscan thermometer. Should this identify that you have a high temperature you will be asked to immediately return home. Clinical staff will be wearing PPE - this is to protect patients and staff.Important information about the coronavirus (COVID-19)
The NHS across Worcestershire and Herefordshire will be better prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases, if the public follows Public Health England advice.
The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of patients and staff which may mean your patient experience is subject to change.
The Chief Medical Officer announced on Friday 13 March that the country is moving into the ‘Delay’ stage of the response to coronavirus (Covid-19).
The new advice issued by the Chief Medical Officer is to stay at home for 7 days if you have either:
• a high temperature or
• a new continuous cough
Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or a hospital. You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.
Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:
• you feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
• your condition gets worse
• your symptoms do not get better after 7 days
Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

Everyone is being reminded to follow Public Health England advice to:
• Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
Information remains subject to regular change and updates. More information can be found on the NHS website here.
